J -T EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Wednesday. March 30, 19S5
Gandee Head of Chamber's
New Education Committee
(Editor's Note: This is an
other in a series of articles pre
pared and submitted to The
Mail Tribune by officials of
the Jackson County Chamber
of Commerce in an effort to
further understand the cham
ber and its activities.)
Ron Gandee recently was se
lected chairman of the newly
formed education committee of
the Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce.
The committee was formed
this week as a result of interest
in education stimulated by John
Pletsch, president of the cham
ber. The first meeting of the
committee was held Monday,
March 23 at the Jackson hotel.
Lisle Berkshire, manager of
the western division, U.S. Cham
ber of Commerce, and Harry
Lintz, Pacific Northwest repre
sentative of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, attended the meeting
in an advisory capacity to help
lay plans for the committee's ac
tion program.
Has Many Activities
Gandee has been the local rep
resentative of the Mailwell En
velope company in Medford for
six years and affiliated with
Commercial Printing for eight
years. He has lived in this area
since 1933 and his activities
have included the Pear Bowl
football games, Southern Oregon
Hospitality, Community Chest
and Oregon Open Golf tourna
ment. At the present time, Gandee
is a member of the board of di
rectors of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce. He is en
gaged in activities of the cham
bers' Tourist and Convention
committee, a member of the
Medford Lions club, general
chairman of the Shrine circus
and a member of the board of
advisors of the Salvation Army.
Teaching Background
For more than a decade, Gan
dee has been a school teacher
and school principal, a back
ground which gives him special
qualifications for the chairman
ship of the education committee.
The purpose of the committee is
to develop a greater understand
ing between schools and busi
nessmen. U.S. Chamber of Commerce
surveys taken indicate that in
communities where school sup
port and education have been
highly developed the standard
of living is correspondingly high.
The study also indicates that in
those communities across the na
tion where school support is
weak and the education system
is below par, the standard of
living in that community and
economic health of the town is
at a low ebb.
The Jackson County Cham
ber's interest in the field of edu
cation is part of a general move
ment across the nation among
chambers of commerce to create
better understanding between
fnnl systems and business peo
ple in an effort to lift the gen
tiul level of the economy.
Dead line Sunday Classified is at
noon Saturday; 1 a.m. Monday for
Monday: other days 5:30 Drevious dav.

Six Physiologists
Decline Invitation
At U of Washington
Seattle (U.R) Six physiolo
gists today notified the Univer
sity of Washington they would
not appear at a campus sympo
sium this summer because of
University President Dr. Henry
Schmitz's ban against having
atomic physicist Dr. J. Robert
Oppenheimer lecture at Wash
ington. The withdrawals from the
symposium on comparative phy
siology, scheduled for Aug. 29
Sept. 2, came from T. H. Bullock,
UCLA; Dr. Lewis H. Kleinholz,
Reed College; Dr. Bradley T.
Scheer, University of Oregon;
Dr. Ladd Prosser, author of a
physiology text book; C. A. J.
Wiersma, California Institute of
Technology, and Karl Wilbur.
Duke University.
Earlier Refusal
An earlier refusal by seven
scientists to appear at Washing
ton caused the University to can
cel a medical school symposium
scheduled for April 7-8.
Other scientists have with
drawn from a zoology sympo
sium set for August.
Top
The sudden reluctance by
scientists to appear at Washing
ton followed a decision by Dr
Schmitz to reject a physics de
partment recommendation that
Dr. Oppenheimer be invited to
Washington as a Walker-Ames
lecturer. Dr. Schmitz said his
decision was in the best interests
of the university. Oppenheimer
was an Atomic Energy Commis
sion physicist whose security
clearance was revoked by the
government. The university
president referred to the scien
tist's "governmental relations"
in refusing to invite him to the
campus.
The University of Washington
board of regents has unanimous
ly urjheld Dr. Schmitz in his
decision.
